Verse
G
I rode across a valley range
C G
I hadn't seen for years
G
The trail was all so spoilt and strange
D
It nearly fetched the tears
G
I had to let ten fences down
C G
The fussy lanes ran wrong
G
And each new line would make me frown
D C G
And hum this mournin' song
[Chorus]
C C G
Mhm, hear 'em stretchin' of the wire
G
The urban brand is on the land
D
I reckon I'll retire
G
While progress toots her greedy horn
C G
And makes her motor buzz
G
I thanks the Lord I wasn't born
D C G
No later than I was
[Verse]
G
'Twas good to live when all the sod
C G
Without no fence or fuss
G
Belonged in partnership with God
D
Mother Nature and to us
G
Where skyline bounds from east to west
C G
And room to go and come
G
I loved my fellow man the best
D C G
When he was scattered some
[Chorus]
C C G
Mhm, closer and closer crawls the wire
G
There's hardly place to step away
D
And call a man a liar
G
Their house has locks on every door
C G
Their land is in a crate
G
These ain't the plains of God no more
D C G
They're only real estate
[Verse]
G
When my old soul hunts range and rest
C G
Beyond the last divide
G
Just plant me in some stretch of West
D
Sunny, lone and wide
G
Let cattle rub the tombstone round
C G
And coyotes mourn their kin
G
Let horses come and paw the moun'
D C G
But don't you fence it in
[Chorus]
C C G
Mhm, far and farther flings the wire
G
To crowd and pinch another inch
D
It's all their heart's desire
G
The world is overstocked with men
C G
And some will see the day
G
When each must keep his little pen
D C
But I'll be far away
[Verse]
C C G
Mhm Mhm Mhm
G
Mhm
D
Mhm
G
While progress toots her greedy horn
C G
And makes her motor buzz
G
I thanks the Lord I wasn't born
D C
No later than I was
